The Ministry of defense of France and Germany Jean-Yves Le Drian and Ursula von der Leyen has developed an initiative defense policy of the EU and sent a letter to the head of EU diplomacy Federica Mogherini.

The paper proposes to simplify the deployment of operations allowed by the EU within the framework of security policy and common defencepolicy, to contribute to the already adopted but not carried through to the decisions of the European Council and to approve the strategic autonomy of the EU.

“This is a real plan of action to give new impetus to the Europeandefence system, which France and Germany propose in the report a six-page”, – notes the newspaper Figaro.
